About The Author

The author, who writes under the pen-name HARUN YAHYA, was born in Ankara in 1956. Having
completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he then studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan
University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, the author has published many books on
political, faith-related and scientific issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as an author who has written very
important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, the invalidity of their claims and the dark
liaisons between Darwinism and bloody ideologies such as fascism and communism.
His pen-name is made up of the names "Harun" (Aaron) and "Yahya" (John), in memory of the two
esteemed prophets who fought against lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on the cover of the author's books
has a symbolic meaning linked to the their contents. This seal represents the Qur'an, the last Book and the
last word of Allah, and our Prophet, the last of all the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and
Sunnah, the author makes it his main goal to disprove each one of the fundamental tenets of godless
ideologies and to have the "last word", so as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. The
seal of the Prophet, who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, is used as a sign of his intention
of saying this last word.
All these works by the author centre around one goal: to convey the message of the Qur'an to people,
thus encouraging them to think about basic faith-related issues, such as the existence of Allah, His unity
and the hereafter, and to display the decrepit foundations and perverted works of godless systems.
Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America, England to
Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, and Spain to Brazil. Some of his books are available in English, French, German,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay, Uygur
Turkish, and Indonesian, and they have been enjoyed by readers all over the world.
Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have been instrumental in many people putting
their faith in Allah and in many others gaining a deeper insight into their faith. The wisdom, and the sincere
and easy-to-understand style employed give these books a distinct touch which directly strikes any one who
reads or examines them. Immune to objections, these works are characterised by their features of rapid
effectiveness, definite results and irrefutability. It is unlikely that those who read these books and give a
serious thought to them can any longer sincerely advocate the materialistic philosophy, atheism and any
other perverted ideology or philosophy. Even if they continue to advocate, this will be only a sentimental
insistence since these books have refuted these ideologies from their very basis. All contemporary
movements of denial are ideologically defeated today, thanks to the collection of books written by Harun
Yahya.
There is no doubt that these features result from the wisdom and lucidity of the Qur'an. The author
certainly does not feel proud of himself; he merely intends to serve as a means in one's search for Allah's
right path. Furthermore, no material gain is sought in the publication of these works.
Considering these facts, those who encourage people to read these books, which open the "eyes" of the
heart and guide them in becoming more devoted servants of Allah, render an invaluable service.
Meanwhile, it would just be a waste of time and energy to propagate other books which create
confusion in peoples' minds, lead man into ideological chaos, and which, clearly have no strong and precise
effects in removing the doubts in peoples' hearts, as also verified from previous experience. It is apparent
that it is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's literary power rather than the noble goal
of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect. Those who doubt this can readily see that
the sole aim of Harun Yahya's books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate the moral values of the
Qur'an. The success, impact and sincerity this service has attained are manifest in the reader's conviction.
One point needs to be kept in mind: The main reason for the continuing cruelty and conflict, and all the
ordeals the majority of people undergo is the ideological prevalence of disbelief. These things can only come
to an end with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by ensuring that everybody knows about the wonders
of creation and Qur'anic morality, so that people can live by it. Considering the state of the world today, which
